Last post for 2011

一年又过去了
很精彩的一年

先是一月
虽然没上课
却得时不时回学校弄比赛的东西
好不容易搞出了一场健美比赛
我在Health and Fitness Club的第三次，
也是最后一次的MFW

然后到韩国交换
体验了很多很多
第一场雪
一个人住在5星级酒店当富婆
一个人托着行李到处走
一个人逛街
一个人看樱花
第一杯啤酒、烧酒
第一盘花牌
第一次裸汤

交到很多很多的朋友
很多很多很难忘的回忆

从韩国回到新加坡
一时之间无法适应
Reverse Culture Shock
加上悲哀地得马上进Lab开始fyp
七八月的时候挺消沉的

过后lab的工渐渐上手
有时很enjoy，有时却让人很沮丧
就看每一轮实验拿到什么成果咯

偏偏11月搬lab后
近2个月什么都没做成
什么成绩都没有
沮丧成了习惯
竟然渐渐松懈下来了
再加上CAP动都没动
我未免也看得太开了吧

12月再一次搭飞机出国
去台湾
去透透气
短短的
简简单单的

整个学期没太多新鲜事
但想了很多
开始为明年做打算

一整年
精精彩彩地开始
稳稳重重地结束
明年
开开心心地过吧！

今晚 RM 陪我倒数
明天 cells 陪我过
好有趣
T^T

I'm super lucky!!

I applied tickets for all the korean music festivals
just for the sake of making tutorials for people who requested in
and
what kind of luck is this
I ACTUALLY WON 2 TIX FROM MBC!!!

But
What kind of luck is this?!!!
I AM IN SINGAPORE NOW!!!!
AND THOSE FESTIVALS ARE HELD IN SEOUL!!

T.T

Lucky Lady
Thank you
Can you stay by my side for a little longer
all the way till i graduate
all the way till i finally got into grad sch
please~~~
dont leave me please~~~

Short hair in 11 years!!!

So, after months of hesitating
I finally cut my hair
short
First time in 11 years
that my hair is above my shoulders~

* * *

Was thrilled my the auntie cut away half of my hair
Was happy to see the short hair


But


Was worried when the digital perm started
Was shocked when seeing the coils
Was down when hair was done

* * *


I'm happy with the length
but
maybe not with the curls
and certainly not with the shape of my hair now...
not until i learnt how to tame it...

드디어 앨범 받았다!

Before starting the topic, i should write sth else first
So
in conjunction to the coming Christmas
our lab had had a dinner at JP Kuishinbo
and prof "subsidised" ^^

Frankly speaking
i really didnt eat much
just a few pieces of sushi and sashimi
then 2 pieces of snow crabs
then some "side dishes"
then fondue-fountain-fruits
then...
that'a all~

But was super full!
Thanks to those sitting at the same table
nice chatting and joking around
i think i ate too much air
that's why become full easily

Photos?
Nope :P

Best alarm clock ever

My alarm failed to wake me up, again...
until NUS sent me THE unexpected sms
and woke me up completely
with slight risk of getting heart attack~

* * *

Happy?
Sad?

Well... moodless...
since the number didnt change at all (not mathematically though)~

Bad thing: No more 2nd upper
Good thing: I will enjoy my last sem in nus till i graduate

Will still continue with my previous plan~
Get it or not, i'll live my 2012 happily ^^

One-week escape from reality

So I escaped to Taiwan last week

What I gained: luxurious sleeping time
What I lost: one week of lab work
Balance: Refreshing my brain and body for a more intensive work ahead

* * *

Shall I upload photos?
Hmm...
I don't think so~

Reason 1:
I don't have high resolution photos with me now

Reason 2:
There isn't much scenery in Taiwan

Reason 3:
I am lazy

* * *

Hmm well...maybe a bit...here you go :)

"Tutorial to MBC Music Core"

Pertaining to my previous post on "Guide to SBS Inkigayo LIVE Show"

here's a tutorial on how to register as a member at SBS site,

as well as how to apply for tickets to the show...

however,

as i'm in Korea now,

i can't really access the sign up page for "Foreigner in Overseas"

so I will skip some parts

unless someone can help me screenshot the sign up page for foreigners

and if they are all in Korean, i can help translate and update this tutorial later...

by the way,

i will not do tutorial for other music show

because there's problem on Music Bank website, i can't seem to apply any tickets

and for Music Core, you need a Korean phone in order to receive notification if got the tickets

so...ya...only Inkigayo~

It's December~ Xmas!!!

I just said that my last term break doesnt look like a term break at all
okay
i take back my words
it does look like a holiday after all
no lectures, no assignments, no exams
only labs and papers, big deal~

So without classes, i suddenly have quite a lot of free time
well
i should use it to read papers
but
well
end up watching variety show >.<

And started listening to Xmas songs!!
Last year, i was listening to JYP Nation's,
this year, it's Jelly Fish ^^
Reason?
Nah, you should have known it~
爱屋及乌嘛~

* shall dedicate a post to Jelly Fish one day XD




* * *

So here're the K-variety that i'm watching:

WGM
Have been watching since the first season...starting year 2008?
WOW!!!
The translation version is so slow,
and ever since PPS and PPTV blocked it few months ago,
I've started watching the raw version,
i.e. 100% Korean without subtitles
I've gotten >90% for TOPIK listening test,
I think I really have to thank WGM for that
HA!!!

2D1N
It was impossible not to watch it when i was in Korea
because it's the number 1 super king variety show
that's so so so famous throughout the entire Korea
When everyone around you is talking about the show,
you got to watch it in order to keep up with the conversation
Just like why Boys Over Flower and Secret Garden were the must-watch dramas in Korea~
And again,
I've started watching raw version,
but it's only after KHD left the show
When he was still on the show, well, it's a headache to watch without subtitles
thanks to his dialects and accents :P

SH
Not a fan of it
Since it's a talk show, Intermediate like I can never enjoy the show without subtitles
So, only watch it when someone i know attend the show as guest

RM
Well...
I finally started this one!
Reason?
2D1N is scheduled to end its five-years run next year February
(such a pity...)
So to substitute the emptiness that I've already anticipated
I'll have RM, the number 2 weekend variety king show, as my accompany~

* * *

So I watched a lot?
Not really lar~
5~6 hours per week only~~
:P

Youtube playlist

Have been trying to loop my youtube playlist endlessly
but keep failing and i thought youtube restricts the function
well
it ends up to be my own mistake for getting the codes wrong >.<
To loop infinitely, it's loop=1, instead of the usual wmp loop=99 =.=
So a brief tutorial here, to autoplay and to loop youtube video/playlist...

Step 1:
- Locate specific video/playlist URL within embed code (bolded and underlined in examples below)
- Ignore extra codes behind the URL (if any), eg shown in Example 2

Step 2:
- To autostart, add: &autopstart=1
- To loop infinitely, add: &loop=1
- Additional codes to be added right after the specific URL (note Example 2), without any space, within the apostrophes.

Example 1:
Standard YT video embed code:
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/cKmBQI4VASQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Autoplay and loop added:
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/cKmBQI4VASQ&autopstart=1&loop=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Example 2:
Standard YT playlist embed code:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PL69BEEF3977D875C5&amp;hl=en_US&amp;hd=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


Autoplay and loop added:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PL69BEEF3977D875C5&autopstart=1&loop=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;hd=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Enjoy my autostarted and infinitely looped Xmas songs
MERRY JELLY CHRISTMAS ^^

Last term break in NUS!!

Yes,
this shall be my last term holidays in NUS!

* * *

Finals ended on Tue
some was not bad, some was simply a nightmare
being a senior, after >16years of "training"
i just lost all "enthusiasm" to "enjoy" the exams

But something worth noting about the finals this time
is the paper for System Neurobiology
the essay question set by prof wong
i dunno
as long as I dont get zero for that essay *TOUCH WOOD!!!*
i'll get full marks for it
yes
FULL MARK GUARANTEED
HA!

Why?
unless i really read the question wrongly *TOUCH WOOD*
or unless my brain went crazy that day *TOUCH WOOD*
the essay question was really really easy
even easier than MCQs
=.=
the so-called "essay question" that weigh 10 marks
simply require us to answer: A, B, or C
yes,
just "A", "B", or "C"
=.=
and it didnt really require any specific knowledge on neurobiology
but just basic ability to understand layman English and bar chart
well...some logic thinking to correlate words and charts, maybe...
and you will get the answer right~

i was expecting something "insane" for prof wong's essay
but
how come it turn out this way?!!?!!
i read the question at least thrice and i still stunned
then
instead of just give him "A" as answer
i wrote out the full sentence for each question, eg:
"Mice brain sample A corresponds to mice with high PrP expression."

PROF WONG PLEASE GIVE ME THE FULL 10 MARKS !!!

*and i can't understand why some students would forgo this essay question,
and chose the other profs' questions instead
which require drawing of the nervous system
and REAL essay writing with REAL neurobiology contents
i can't understand*

* * *

just checking, anyone reading this line?
===>> YES, THIS LINE <<===
please reply with "Yes" only
will explain some other day...


* * *

Oh ya,
my last term break in NUS~
well...
which doesn't look like a holiday at all
thanks to FYP
i still have to go lab everyday including weekends
and i still have to read papers (which I'm reluctant of starting)

haiz...
it seems that my last term break
had already ended at the moment i left Korea
haiz...
